The problem of waste is becoming more and more serious, so it must be controlled.
Every day, a large amount of food goes uneaten and ends up in the trash, while many people in developing countries cannot even afford to have one meal every day. The next time you sit down to have a delicious dinner, ask yourself ,“How much food will I be able to eat?” If you only take as much food as you can eat, it will help cut down on waste.
Waste happens all over the world. People often consume more than they really need. This often results in waste and it can be a big problem. It's time for us to try cut down on trash and waste.
The most important thing to remember is to be friendly to the environment. Only take as much food as you can eat, don't buy things you neither want nor need, and leave litter in its proper place.
